FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates generally to content transformation, and more particularly, to validating accurate content transformation.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Extract Transform Load (ETL) refers to a process in database usage, more specifically in data warehousing, performed by an ETL tool. The process includes extracting an original document from a source, transforming the data to fit operational needs, and loading the transformed document into an end target (e.g., database or database warehouse). The process typically consists of numerous processes which the ETL tool sequences together. Original documents (i.e., source documents) are typically deleted from a storage location after being transformed into another document format (i.e., target document). Typically, source documents relate to source applications, such as, email programs from where the source documents are extracted during the ETL process.

Aspects of the present invention are described below with reference to flowchart illustrations and/or block diagrams of methods, apparatus (systems) and computer program products according to embodiments of the invention. It will be understood that each block of the flowchart illustrations and/or block diagrams, and combinations of blocks in the flowchart illustrations and/or block diagrams, can be implemented by computer program instructions. These computer program instructions may be provided to a processor of a general purpose computer, special purpose computer, or other programmable data processing apparatus to produce a machine, such that the instructions, which execute via the processor of the computer or other programmable data processing apparatus, create means for implementing the functions/acts specified in the flowchart and/or block diagram block or blocks.

These computer program instructions may also be stored in a computer-readable medium that can direct a computer, other programmable data processing apparatus, or other devices to function in a particular manner, such that the instructions stored in the computer-readable medium produce an article of manufacture including instructions which implement the function/act specified in the flowchart and/or block diagram block or blocks.

Some embodiments of the present invention recognize that there may be situations where a transformation of a source document to a target document is not accurate. For example, certain objects (e.g., textual content) may not transfer from the source document to the target document. Such situations may not be immediately apparent during the transformation and the original document may be deleted resulting in lost content which may not have transferred. Instances, such as, archiving a large quantity of documents, the content of the source documents has to transform to the target document to ensure all of the information is accurately archived in the end target.

FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram illustrating a distributed data processing environment, in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. Distributed data processing environment includes server computer 102, computer device 104, and database 106 interconnected over network 108.

Server computer 102 may be a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a tablet computer, a specialized computer server, a smartphone, or any other computer system known in the art. In certain embodiments, server computer 102 represents a computer system utilizing clustered computers and components that act as a single pool of seamless resources when accessed through network 108, as is common in data centers and with cloud computing applications. In general, server computer 102 is representative of any programmable electronic device or combination of programmable electronic devices capable of executing machine-readable program instructions and communicating with other computer devices via a network. In this embodiment, server computer 102 has the ability to communicate with other computer devices to query the computer devices for information.

Extract Transform and Load (ETL) program 110 residing in server computer 102 has the ability to receive source documents sent from computer device 104. ETL program 110 can also receive source documents from multiple computer devices not illustrated in FIG. 1. ETL program 110 can transform the source documents and load the transformed documents (i.e., target documents) into a target storage location, such as, database 106. Such a transformation, also referred to as an ETL process, transforms the content of a source document (e.g., HTML to plain text) and stores the transformed content in the form of a target document. ETL program 110 can be a server-based program. ETL program 110 may comprise programs or tools such as validation program 112 and an index containing the target documents archived in the target storage location. In this embodiment, ETL program 110 communicates with validation program 112 residing in server computer 102.

Validation program 112, residing in computer server 102, has the ability to compare source documents to target documents and determine if the transformation during the ETL process was accurate. In one embodiment, validation program 112 is capable of creating a non-rasterized version, such as a PDF document, of both the source document and the target document. In another embodiment, validation program 112 is capable of querying a program, not illustrated in FIG. 1, for the non-rasterized versions of the source document and the target document. Validation program 112 compares the non-rasterized source document to the non-rasterized target document to determine whether or not the transformation was accurate. In this embodiment, upon determining the transformation was accurate, validation program 112 deletes the source document.

In general, network 108 can be any combination of connections and protocols that will support communications between server computer 102, computer device 104 and database 106. Network 108 can include, for example, a local area network (LAN), a wide area network (WAN) such as the internet, a cellular network, or any combination of the preceding, and can further include wired, wireless, and/or fiber optic connections.

In one embodiment, validation program 112 is a web service accessible via network 108 to a user of a separate device, e.g., computer device 104. In another embodiment, validation program 112 is operated directly by a user of server computer 102.

User interface 114, on computer device 104, displays the information that any one of the processes of validation program 112 may display to a user. User interface 114 can be, for example, a graphical user interface (GUI) or a web user interface (WUI) and can display text, documents, web browser windows, user options, application interfaces and instructions for operation.

In various embodiments of the present invention, computer device 104 can be a laptop computer, a tablet computer, a netbook computer, a personal computer (PC), a desktop computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a smartphone, or any programmable electronic device capable of communicating with server computer 102 and database 106 via network 108. In this embodiment, computer device 104 stores the source documents which ETL program 110 transforms and has the ability of providing an application programming interface (API) for extracting content in the source documents during the ETL process.

Database 106 can store content of ETL program 110 and validation program 112 such as, non-rasterized versions of the source and target documents. Database 106 can have a index accessible by a user of computer device 104, ETL program 110, and validation program 112 on server computer 102. Database 106 can also be located on server computer 102, computer device 104, or any other location in the distributed data processing environment connected to network 108.

For discussion purposes, in this embodiment, validation program 112 compares a source document transformed to a target document during an ETL process and determines how accurately the content of the source document is represented in the target document. In another embodiment, validation program 112 compares a source document to an index of the source document to determine if the content contained within the source document is accurately represented. Such an embodiment is applicable in an environment where document archiving is performed in a database and where key aspects of the target document are validated with respect to the source document.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart depicting operational steps of an ETL program transforming a source document to a target document, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.

Validation program 112 receives a source document (step 202). In this embodiment, validation program 112 receives the source document from computer device 104 over network 108. Alternatively, validation program 112 receives the source document from any client device or computer sub-system via network 108. The source document can be an email, a Word document, an Excel spreadsheet, or any other type of document which can be transformed during an ETL process. In this embodiment, computer device 104 sends the source document to ETL program 110 and validation program 112 over the network. ETL program 110 transforms the source document to a target document, so that it can be stored (i.e., archived) in a target storage location. The transformation ETL program 110 performs is also known as an ETL process. ETL program 110 can decompose the source document, for example, separating attachments of the source documents so ETL program 110 can accurately perform the transformation during the ETL process. ETL program 110 transforms content of the source document to another format and designates the document having the other format as the target document. For example, an email source document in HTML format may be transformed into a target document in plain text format. Prior to ETL program 110 sending the target document to the target storage location, ETL program 110 sends the target document to validation program 112 to ensure the accuracy of the document transformation.

Validation program 112 receives the target document previously transformed from the source document (step 204). In this embodiment, validation program 112 receives the target document from ETL program 110 upon completing the ETL process with the transformation of the source document to the target document. In another embodiment, validation program 112 has a queue function, where validation program 112 queues the target document(s) prior to receiving them. This queue function allows for validation program 112 to queue the target documents during instances where there are a large quantity of documents are being processed. Accordingly, validation program 112 queues the target documents and assigns priority to particular target documents which are to be received first. For example, if there is a particular target document in the queue that another program is calling for, validation program 112 can move the particular target document to the front of the queue. Further, validation program 112 can receive the particular target document first regardless of when the target document was sent by ETL program 110. In another example, validation program 112 assigns priority to target documents of a large size compared to target documents of a smaller size. Assigning priority recognizes the increased likelihood of ETL program 110 not accurately transforming the source document of the larger size during the ETL process. Smaller sized target documents have less content for ETL program 110 to transform, so there is a lesser likelihood that ETL program 110 did not accurately transform the source document during the ETL process.

Validation program 112 stores the source document and the target document in temporary storage (step 206). In this embodiment, validation program 112 stores the source document and the target document in a temporary storage location allocated in database 106. In that way, temporary storage location of database 106 can act as a buffer for validation program 112 to gain quick access to the source document and target document during the validation process. The source document and the target document are stored in the temporary storage location to ensure the source document is not deleted prior to validation program 112 determining that the target document is an accurate transformation of the source document.

Validation program 112 renders the source document in a non-rasterized format (step 208). In this embodiment, validation program 112 accesses the source document in temporary storage to render the source document in the non-rasterized format. The non-rasterized format, such as a PDF, is where a dot matrix data structure is not present when representing a document. The dot matrix data structure is generally a rectangular grid of pixels which produce an image. Such an image can be, for example, a letter in a word, where the letter “d” is a pixilated image in the word “dog”. The non-rasterized format, such as that of PDF files, do not use image-based graphics to render a document. It is that type of image that validation program 112 renders. In one example, the source document is an email in HTML format and validation program 112 renders the email in a PDF format. In some embodiments, validation program 112 renders the PDF of the email in HTML format along with any attachments of the source document. In this embodiment, validation program 112 stores the rendered PDF of the email, in the same temporary storage location where validation program 112 stores the source document.

Validation program 112 renders the target document in a non-rasterized format (step 210). Similar to how validation program 112 renders the source document in the non-rasterized format, validation program 112 renders the target document in the non-rasterized format. In this embodiment, validation program 112 accesses the target document in temporary storage to render the target document in the non-rasterized format. In this embodiment, the non-rasterized format of the source document is the same as the non-rasterized format of the target document to ensure validation program 112 can perform an accurate determination for accuracy. Alternatively, the non-rasterized formats of the two rendered documents are different. In one example, the target document is an email in plain text format and validation program 112 renders the email in a PDF format. In another example, validation program 112 renders a PDF of the email in plain text format as well as any attachments of the email. In this example, validation program 112 stores the rendered PDF of the email and any corresponding attachments, in the same temporary storage location where validation program 112 stores the target document.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart depicting operational steps of a validation program for comparing a source document with a target document, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.

Validation program 112 receives the rendered source document and the rendered target document (step 302). In one embodiment, validation program 112 queries a temporary storage location allocated in database 106 to obtain the rendered source and target documents. It should be noted that validation program 112 can query database 106 for any available rendered source and target documents which have yet to be compared for transformation accuracy. In another embodiment, validation program 112 has a queue with the rendered source documents and the rendered target documents. In this embodiment, upon validation program 112 storing the rendered source and target documents in the temporary storage location allocated in database 106, validation program 112 queues the rendered source and target documents for comparison to determine if the transformation was accurate. In one example, a queue is based on the duration that the rendered source and target documents have been stored in the temporary storage location. The longer the duration, the higher up the rendered source and target documents are moved in the queue for validation program 112 to receive and compare for transformation accuracy. In another example, a queue is based on a file size of the rendered source document. The smaller the file size of the rendered source document, the lower the position the rendered source and target documents have in the queue for validation program 112 to compare.

Validation program 112 compares the received rendered source document to the received rendered target document (step 304). In this embodiment, validation program 112 compares the received rendered source document to the received rendered target document utilizing known comparison algorithms. Such comparison algorithms examine various aspects of the rendered source document and determine to what extent the various aspects are present in the rendered target document. An aspect of a document may be tokens (e.g., text) present in the rendered source document. For example, validation program 112 compares the tokens present in the rendered source document to the tokens present in the target document. Validation program 112 determines which tokens in the rendered source document appear in the rendered target document. Further, validation program 112 can determine if the tokens appear with the same frequency.

Another aspect of a document may be the layout. For example, validation program 112 removes the text from both, the rendered source and target document to determine the how accurately the layout of the rendered source document compares to the rendered target document. In this example, validation program 112 uses an image histogram of the layout for the rendered source document and an image histogram of the layout for the rendered target document to determine the accuracy of the transformation. Image histograms represent the tonal distribution in a digital image, which in this example is the layout of both the rendered source and target documents. The more similar the image histograms (i.e., the more overlapping), the more accurate the transformation of the layout between the rendered source document and the rendered target document.

Another aspect of a document may be the overall visual appearance. For example, validation program 112 compares the overall visual appearance of the rendered source document to that of the rendered target document. Such a comparison can be ideal for a source document of a smaller storage size because there is less content that ETL program 110 transfers to the target document. In one embodiment, validation program 112 utilizes a similar method of comparing the layouts of the documents, where validation program 112 utilizes image histogram comparison for entire rendered source document. Validation program 112 compares the overall image histogram of the rendered source document to the rendered target document to determine the accuracy of the transformation.

In another embodiment, validation program 112 identifies embedded objects such as, tables or images in the rendered source document and determines if the identified embedded objects exist in the rendered target document. Validation program 112 can also determine how accurately the embedded objects in the rendered source document compare to the rendered target document. For example, validation program 112 compares the dimensions of the embedded objects (e.g., tables and images) in the rendered source document to identify if the embedded objects are accurately presented in the rendered source document.

Validation program 112 determines if a similarity threshold has been reached (decision step 306). The similarity threshold serves as a validation of the accuracy of the document transformation. In this embodiment, validation program 112 receives a user input specifying the similarity threshold. In one embodiment, the similarity threshold is 98% transformation accuracy, where 98% of the overall target document is contained in the source document. In another embodiment, validation program 112 has multiple similarity thresholds, where there is one similarity threshold for the token (e.g., text) accuracy and another similarity threshold for the layout accuracy. For example, validation program 112 has a token accuracy threshold of 99% with a layout threshold of 90%. Multiple similarity thresholds provide for designating what content of the source document is more important when compared to the target document.

If validation program 112 determines the similarity threshold has been reached (“yes” branch, step 306), validation program 112 proceeds to step 308. If validation program 112 determines the similarity threshold has not been reached (“no” branch, step 306), validation program 112 proceeds to step 310 where validation program 112 notifies the user that the transformation of the source document to the target document is not accurate. Alternatively, validation program 112 prompts notification of the user that the transformation of the source document to the target document is not accurate.

Validation program 112 determines to delete the source document from the temporary storage (step 308). In this embodiment, upon determining the similarity threshold level was met and the transformation of content from the source document to the target document was accurate, validation program 112 deletes the source document from the temporary storage. In one embodiment, validation program 112 notifies database 106 to delete the source document along with the rendered source document from the temporary storage. In another embodiment, if validation program 112 is located on the same server computer 102, as database 106, validation program 112 triggers the deletion of the source document and the rendered source document.

Validation program 112 notifies the user that the similarity threshold has not been reached (step 310). In this embodiment, validation program 112 prompts a window on user interface 112 of computer device 104 to notify the user the similarity threshold has not been reached for the transformation of the source document to the target document during the ETL process ETL program 110 performs. In another embodiment, validation program 112 prompts the source document and the target document which have not met the similarity threshold in decision step 306. In some embodiments, the user can have the ability to override the similarity threshold via a user input specifying the source document and target document are similar. Alternatively, validation program 112 can have the ability to receive a user input requesting ETL program 110 to perform the ETL process for the source document again in order to transform the source document into a new target document.

Validation program 112 stores the target document in the target storage (step 312). In this embodiment, validation program 112 stores the target document in database 106 (i.e., target storage). Accordingly, validation program 112 can transfer the target document from the temporary storage location allocated in database 106 to the target storage (i.e., archive) located within database 106. In this embodiment, upon storing the target document, validation program 112 deletes the target document and the rendered target document from the temporary storage location. In another embodiment, validation program 112 requests a separate archiving engine in database 106 store the target document in the target storage location.

It should be appreciated that FIG. 4 provides only an illustration of one implementation and does not imply any limitations with regard to the environments in which different embodiments may be implemented. Many modifications to the depicted environment may be made.

Server computer 102 includes communications fabric 402, which provides communications between computer processor(s) 404, memory 406, persistent storage 408, communications unit 410, and input/output (I/O) interface(s) 412. Communications fabric 402 can be implemented with any architecture designed for passing data and/or control information between processors (such as microprocessors, communications and network processors, etc.), system memory, peripheral devices, and any other hardware components within a system. For example, communications fabric 402 can be implemented with one or more buses.
